First, the "2 for $1.50" ones, or whatever the actual price is, rarely require you two actually buy two. You usually can get one at the discounted price. Layering or "stacking" is a key too, as mentioned. Find somewhere that doubles coupons on a certain day and do your shopping then. Major savings! Although I don't advocate it, some have been known to try to slip expired cooupons in there to see if they fly. You can always say you didn't notice the expiration date if you decide to go this route. Also, with a lot of "manufacturer's coupons" you can kind of manipulate them too. Have a coupon for Kraft shredded cheese, but you want to buy Kraft sliced? A lof of times you can slip this one in too. Again, it all depends on how far you're willing to go. Great post!
